And...try your best to not slice up the little fingers that are sneaking away pepper strips...

(Lemme just interject here...sorry for the interruption...but, I can't believe they eat pepper strips! Heck, I just convinced Mr. Wonderful, like, last week that they were delicious!!! 'Cept the green ones, apparently, 'cuz Baby Girl kept saying, "No, da's yucky!")

Sorry, for that random digression...

So, next, you'll wanna layer in the meat, with the veggies on top.

Toss on some garlic (yes, I cheat...who has time to peel and chop up garlic when there is laundry to wash, dishes to do, butts to wipe, faces to clean, beds to make...)...

Then, sprinkle the seasonings over the top (and, I must confess...sprinkling and photographing simultaneously must be a lot like walking and chewing gum. It's really hard)...

Next, pour the tomatoes, juice and all, right over everything!

This, is what it'll look like prior to hitting that "cook" button...

When it's all done cooking, shred chicken, toss back into crock pot and serve your new favorite dinner to your very thankful family!

Note from the poor house...please excuse the Dora the Explorer plate...I was fresh outta clean dishes, so it had to do...not that it's really any worse than the Corelle...but, whatev!

Crock Pot Fajitas

1lb flank steak or chicken breast (or half of each)

1 sm onion, sliced

1 green pepper, sliced

1 red pepper, sliced

1 jalapeno, diced (optional)

1-2 T. chili powder

1-2 cloves garlic, diced

1 tsp. cumin

1 tsp. coriander

1 large or 2 small cans diced tomatoes

Cut steak and chicken into strips (don't worry about cutting the chicken...it shreds nicely when done, so save yourself some work, and toss those breasts in whole!) and place on bottom of crock pot. Put veggies on top, then garlic and spices, and pour over the tomatoes (undrained...and P.S. I used Rotel, yummo!!).

Cook 4-5 hours on high, or 8-10 on low, pull out meat, shred it, toss it back in and you're ready to serve!

Well, they have been in the crockpot for hours. I don't have any tortillas - so I'm thinking perhaps over some rice. It sounds so good and I happened to have everything handy. Thank you for sharing (my house smells delicious!)

i feel so disobedient for not cooking that right now. but the only thing in my kitchen is the $700 (yes you read that right ) worth of groceries i bought today and a throw away pan i bought to make pizzas on. but i promise after the movers deliver all my stuff tomorow i will try to. do you think they will mind if i say it is your fault i want all my kitchen stuff first. really, it looks like a great recipe and i can not wait to try it

Delish! You need a pampered chef garlic press. I'm not a cook more a pampered chef person, but someone gave us one and there's no going back. I love it! And I can't wait to try this! It looks delicious!

These were sooo good. A little too juicy for me, I might drain one of my cans of tomatoes (I used 1 can Rotel-YUM and 1 of plain diced tomatoes) next time, but the flavor was out of this world and it was so darn easy to prep. Thank you for sharing!

Come here looking for the tutorial? It can be found here: Halo Braid Tutorial! Let me know how it goes! I had something in mind to try on Baby Girl's hair the other day...my best bud, Dr. J, did something similar to it on Belle once, and I was trying to replicate it. Instead, I got this:

Isn't it pretty?! It didn't take nearly as long as it looks and isn't nearly as intricate as it looks! Vlog tutorial coming soon...(for those of you waiting, I'm sorry it's taking me so long!)

How appropriate, "halo braid", no?! ;) Finally, I have this ready for you...I apologize for the delay! This braid looks intricate, but is really quite easy and quick to pull off...the original video (prior to the warp speed braiding...watch the video to see what I mean) was just a bit over 8 minutes long...not too shabby! So, here you go...right in time for you to try it out on your little girl for Easter!

About Me

As a thirtysomething mother of five, wife to Mr. Wonderful (does that make me Mrs. Wonderful by default?), I try to enjoy life to the fullest and appreciate every day. I'm proud that I define myself as a mother and a wife and that my career (I moonlight as a nurse) allows me to prioritize my life this way! I'll admit, mothering 5 is a challege, but the joy that it brings is worth all the heartache, chaos, stress and tears!!

Mr. Wonderful

My hunka hunka burnin' love!! Mr. Wonderful is "Most Likely to be Voted Husband of the Year". Seriously...the guy's amazing. He has an amazing work ethic, treats me like a queen and cherishes his children. He knows how I like my coffee and rarely balks when I need some girl time. He is an amazing man...and I am one lucky woman to have him!

The Pal

Our oldest child, "The Pal" has turned out to be a pretty amazing young man. Currently in college...GAH, COLLEGE!!! (how did this happen?!), he is his littlest sister's hero and makes his mama proud.

The Belle

E-Dubya (or E.W.)

Our second son, this boy fiercely loves his mama, is tender hearted, has the most amazing infectious laugh, is a hard worker, and an even harder player!

Hambone

Our "baby boy", Hambone is goofy, sometimes aloof, entirely his own person, and a miniature copy of his dad. His one-liners leave us laughing non stop. Comedic relief...at it's cutest!

Baby Girl

Our babe, she is a force to be reckoned with! So unlike her brothers and sister, she is incredibly strong willed, independent, and stubborn. She loves to check the cows with daddy and loathes shopping with her mama. She will most likely be found with a dirty face and sticky hair...
